You need to have a staple, black, everyday carry-all. It’s not just our a suggestion. Your planner, travel makeup bag, umbrella and emergency flats say it’s mandatory. But since our handbag says a lot about us and contributes to the cohesiveness (or lack thereof) of our overall looks, your everyday black bag needs to be stellar. It’s fine if your everyday bag takes a beating. It just shouldn’t look like it’s already been beaten before you even buy it. This is our way to saying, you should consider purchasing a super stylish update to your average Fall/Winter black bag. The key to selecting this anonymous “super stylish” update is details, details, details! Trendy fringing, luxe gold hardware, and other additives will take your basic black bag up a couple notches.
